gr8fuldoug Report post Posted August 12, 2022 Last Day of the Kowa Genesis Binocular & Kowa TSN-77 Series Spotting Scope Sale This amazing sale ends tonight, August 12th, at Midnight - Don't Miss Out Save $350.00 on TSN-773's and 774's Save up to $400.00 on the Kowa Genesis Binoculars Kowa TSN-773 and 774 Spotting Scopes reduced from $2,349.00 to only $1,999.99 The PROMINAR models TSN-773/774 using an XD objective lens with low dispersion properties to diminish chromatic aberration. The performance and compactness of these spotting scopes are second to no other scopes in this class. The housing is waterproof to JIS protection class 7 and filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent the lens from fogging. JIS 7 = Japanese Industrial Standard / class 7 = Protected against the effects of temporary immersion in water. Dual focus mechanism (Quick and fine focusing) The well established Kowa focus system has progressed to a new dual focus system. The quick focus, with a large and easy to turn knob, will focus from infinity to five meters in two revolutions. The fine focus, with smooth movements and pinpoint accuracy, is extremely useful at high magnifications and for digiscoping systems. Eyepiece locking mechanism Kowa's standard eyepiece bayonet mount has been passed down to these new spotting scopes with a new attractive feature. An eyepiece locking mechanism has been added to the mount to prevent the eyepiece from getting lost or falling out unexpectedly. Magnesium alloy body The magnesium alloy body made by a sophisticated molding process called thixotrophic molding has the feel and strength of a traditional metal body with decreased weight when compared to other large-diameter scopes. The rugged structure can tolerate the severest conditions and provides confidence and a sense of security for the user. "PROMINAR" Lens One of the major causes of deterioration of viewing quality in optics is chromatic aberration (color blur). Chromatic aberration occurs due to the dispersion of light and the different wavelengths of light focusing on different positions, resulting in a red or purple fringing around the image. The optimum optical material to minimize chromatic aberration is fluorite crystal. This technology is the result of many years of optical design and has realized great reduction in chromatic aberration, while maintaining a large diameter lens and high contrast images when compared with conventional models. The XD lens used in our TSN-773/774 PROMINAR models has characteristics similar to those of fluorite crystal to significantly reduce the chromatic aberration. All lenses are environmentally friendly Eco-Glass. (Eco-Glass is an environmentally friendly glass that does not contain lead or other harmful substances.) XD-Lens When an XD lens (eXtra-low-Dispersion-lens) is paired with a concave lens with special dispersion properties, chromatic aberration is almost eliminated. The performance of spotting scopes with XD lenses is very close to that of our flagship models with fluorite crystal. Compact The telephoto lens design of using 5 lens elements in 4 groups has successfully shortened the overall length of the scope while keeping a large diameter objective lens without sacrificing optical performance. The adoption of an inner focusing system has made the prism box light and compact and at the same time decreases the amount of image movement when compared to conventional prism focusing systems. The highly achromatized objective lens makes the scope as compact as a 60mm class scope without sacrificing performance. Kowa Genesis Binoculars 8x33 reduced from $999.00 to only $799.00 10x33 reduced from $999.00 to only $799.00 8.5x44 reduced from $1,299.00 to only $999.00 10.5x44 reduced from $1,399.00 to only $999.00 The Genesis Series incorporates a total of 4 XD lenses (2 sets of 2 lenses) to significantly reduce chromatic aberration and provide a high contrast in the field of view. This high refractive roof prism (Bak4 + SK15) combined with Kowa's C³ coating delivers the clearest and sharpest image. Kowa PROMINAR XD Lenses Kowa's XD Lenses (eXtra-low Dispersion glass with similar characteristics to fluorite crystal) combines with a special dispersion concave lens to reduce a very high percentage of chromatic aberration for the ultimate viewing experience. Schmidt-Pechan Roof Prism Lens and C3 Coating Kowa's roof prism binoculars use a Schmidt-Pechan prism. With the highly reflective C3 coating application, this increases reflectivity by 99% or higher reflectance rate across the entire visible spectrum (400-700nm). This not only provides bright and sharp images, but also accurate color reproduction. Thixomolded Magnesium Alloy Body A magnesium alloy body is formed using a sophisticated thixomolding technology to deliver the benefits of a high strength metal body but in a lightweight magnesium alloy structure. The durability and reliability of these binoculars can withstand the most severe conditions to provide users the greatest degree of confidence and security. Kowa's KR Coating Kowa's KR coating protects the lenses from dirt and other foreign residues that may affix to the lenses during normal use. Fingerprints or oil can easily be removed with the proper lens cleaning techniques. Phase-Coated Roof Prism The Schmidt prism roof surface is phase corrected to ensure sharp images for the most outstanding image contrast. All-Surface Multi-Coating The all-surface multi-coated optical system provides a precise color definition for a brighter and sharper image. Waterproof and Fogproof The housing is waterproof to JIS Protection Class 7 and filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent internal fogging to ensure image clarity. Twist-Up Eyecups Twist-up multi-step eyecups allow customization for easy viewing even when wearing eyeglasses.
